Biography
Paullus Fabius Maximus was the elder son of Consul Quintus Fabius Maximus, and he was named after his ancestor Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus. He served as quaestor of the Roman Empire from 22 to 19 BC, and he accompanied Emperor Augustus during his travels in the eastern provinces. After his consulship, he served as proconsul of Roman Asia, serving from 10 to 9 BC and as governor of Hispania Tarraconensis in 3 BC, during which time he conquered a Celtic city and named it Lucus Augusti, now the Galician city of Lugo in Spain. In 13 AD, he accompanied Augustus on a secret visit to the emperor's last surviving grandson, Agrippa Postumus, on an island off Corsica, and Empress Livia later found out about the secret visit and Augustus' plan to make Agrippa Postumus his heir. Shortly after Augustus' death in 14 AD (caused by Livia poisoning his figs), Livia had the Praetorian Guard prefect Sejanus send an assassin to murder Maximus, ensuring that Postumus' status as heir was never discovered; Postumus was murdered not long after.
